Gold Mother of the Bride Dress Will Make You Look Like Royalty

If the stress of picking the perfect color to wear to your daughter’s or son’s wedding is wearing you down, here’s a suggestion. A gold sequin mother-of-the-bride dress always looks beautiful and will make you look like royalty. Here’s why.

1. Champagne Gold Goes with Everything

Champagne gold closely resembles beige and is often considered a neutral color. Some champagne shades are warmer, others cooler. This means a champagne gold mother-of-the-bride dress looks lovely with just about any color of bridesmaid dress, from black to burgundy, peach, green, and blue.

2.  Champagne Gold is Elegant and Regal

Bright colors are energetic and lively, while pastels are soft and romantic. Champagne gold is understated and elegant. It’s a quiet color that speaks volumes about refinement and sophistication—it’s regal.

3. Champagne Gold Complements White

If you are worried that a champagne gold mother-of-the-bride dress might take away from the bride’s wedding gown, don’t be.  Champagne complements white and cream, and many brides specifically ask their moms to wear this chic color.  So long as your dress is definitely darker than the bride’s, you should be fine. Be sure to check with the bride to ensure she approves before purchasing your dress.

4.  It Flatters Your Skin Tone

Champagne is a soft color that complements aging skin and can be very flattering when paired with the right shade. Remember I said there were warm and cool tones?

If your skin and hair have warm, golden undertones, opt for a champagne color with pale, orange-yellow undertones. If your skin is pinker and your hair has ash undertones, then try a slightly more rosy beige or taupe-champagne. Getting the right undertone will make all the difference in the world to how you look in a champagne gold mother-of-the-bride dress.

5.  Champagne was Made to Sparkle

Since champagne gold is a type of beige, it can appear quite flat without any sparkle. Since weddings are all about that, look for champagne gold with a bit of sparkle, sequins, lace, or any other type of embellishment that lifts it and makes it more special occasion-like.

6.  It’s a Timeless Color

Wedding photos of the family will be sitting around the house for years to come, so it’s essential to wear a color that will stand the test of time. Champagne gold is an excellent choice. It’s not trendy—it’s classic and will always look fabulous, now and in 50 years to come.

7.  It’s a Seasonless color

Champagne is also a color that works year-round. It looks just as beautiful in fall and winter as it does in spring and summer.

8.  You can wear it again

Since champagne gold is so seasonless and timeless, it can be worn for other special occasions. If you opt for a simple, elegant style in this color, such as the dress above, you can also wear it to a charity ball, New Year’s Eve party, or any other formal event.

Champagne gold shoes are the perfect complement to a champagne gold mother-of-the-bride outfit. Black would be too heavy, and silver wouldn’t look right at all.

This stunning champagne lace mermaid gown is just one of the many Mother of the Bride and Groom dresses that would be perfect for an upcoming wedding. Of course, it’s a beautiful color for the Mother of the groom, too.

Although my kids are not married yet, this stunning champagne gold mother-of-the-bride dress is definitely something I would wear to the wedding. It fits beautifully and feels wonderful.

I’m looking forward to wearing it to my next special occasion, whatever that may be. It’s so versatile.
